SAWS Responds to Sewer Spill in South San Antonio

San Antonio Water System crews are cleaning up a sewer spill that occurred today on the south side which exceeded the requirement for public notice. (See attached TCEQ notice for more details.) No adverse impacts are expected.

Under San Antonio’s EPA consent decree, SAWS has invested over $1.2 billion in improvements to the city’s sewage infrastructure over the course of 12 years. For an interactive map and details on sewer project construction, visit www.saws.org/sewer.
